Privacy Policy

At RENSIC, we take your privacy as seriously as we take the truth. This policy describes how we collect, use, and protect your information when you interact with our decentralized ecosystem.

1. Information We Collect

• Researcher Identity: To maintain scientific integrity, we collect government-issued ID and credentials for researchers. This data is stored in an encrypted off-chain vault accessible only to the verification board.
• Wallet Addresses: Public wallet addresses are collected to facilitate trustless payouts.
• Mission Data: Raw forensic evidence, photos, and GPS coordinates provided by researchers.
• Usage Analytics: Standard web traffic data to improve platform performance.

2. How Data is Used

Your identity data is used solely for accreditation and verification. Mission data is shared with the Mission Strategist and the community according to the mission's transparency settings. We never sell your personal contact information to third-party advertisers.

3. Blockchain Immutability

Please be aware that certain data (hashes of mission reports, reward payouts, and governance votes) is recorded on a public, decentralized blockchain. Once data is written to the blockchain, it cannot be deleted or altered. This is fundamental to the transparency of our forensic records.

4. Data Security

We use industry-standard encryption for all data stored on our servers. Sensitive identity documents are automatically purged from our temporary buffers once verification is complete, with only the verification status persisting in our records.

5. Pseudonymity

We encourage the use of cryptographic pseudonyms. In public mission reports, researchers are identified by their verified handle or wallet hash, shielding their real-world identity from the general public unless otherwise authorized.

6. Cookies & Tracking

We use essential cookies to maintain your login session and security tokens. We do not use third-party tracking pixels that follow you across the web.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction (e.g., GDPR), you may have the right to access, correct, or request the deletion of your personal data. Note that this does not apply to data already anchored to the immutable blockchain ledger.
